When it is bright enough outside, the regular
lamps go off, and the front turn signal lamps take
over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it takes
about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster
might not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full
bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on page 170 for more information.
If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp
control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message displays on the Driver’s Information
Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 206.
Turn the exterior lamp control off a second time,
or turn on the headlamps to turn off the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message in the DIC.
If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were
turned on instead, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message continues to display.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when needed.
Adaptive Forward Lighting System
The Adaptive Forward Lighting System (AFS)
swivels the headlamps horizontally to provide
greater road illumination while turning. AFS will
operate when the vehicle speed is greater than
2 mph (3 km/h). AFS will not operate when
the transmission is in REVERSE (R). AFS is not
immediately operable after starting the vehicle;
driving a short distance is required to calibrate the
AFS. To enable AFS, set the exterior lamp
switch on the multifunction lever to the AUTO
position. Moving the switch out of the AUTO
position will deactivate the system. See Exterior
Lamps on page 164.
